- Reposted by Martin MokrosNice contribution! - we used the livox for change detection in another environmental setting and found them to be similarly useful agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
- Reposted by Martin MokrosTerrestrial laser scanning is too expensive? Not any more. @mokros.bsky.social and team have built one for €2k and all the specifications are all open-source papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... @3dforecotech.bsky.social
- 🌲 What if a terrestrial laser scanner cost ~€2k, and still delivered reliable forest data? We built one. And it works. → DBH accuracy ~1.5 cm → Tree height ~1 m → Open hardware + open software Accessible 3D forest monitoring Wherever you are, get in touch 🌍 Preprint: bit.ly/3HneatY #LiDAR
- The Final Conference of 3DForEcoTech COST Action has come to an end. We shared cutting-edge work in ground-based LiDAR, formed lasting collaborations, and, above all, created a truly open and friendly environment. Reflection & what’s next: www.linkedin.com/posts/martin... #3DForEcoTech #LiDAR
- 🥳 Second day of 3DForEcoTech Final Conference! @emilyrlines.bsky.social will have her Keynote on AI-enabled forest ecology in 3D - progress and challenges. @kimcalders.bsky.social will have his Keynote on Virtual forests for understanding forest disturbances and recovery from space. And more👇

- It’s December 1st, and we’re giving kids advent calendars, plus a board game each Sunday until Christmas. My 10-year-old daughter wrote me a letter as Santa. We moved to the UK last year—it’s been tough, and I struggle at times. I’ll use her letter as my mantra in hard times. Not crying, you are!

- Reposted by Martin MokrosHurricanes cause tremendous damage to forests, whether natural or plantations, but we know very little about what actually happens to trees during high winds (for obvious reasons). In our latest work we have the answer... 🧵👇🧪🌏 1/12
- Starter pack for proximal forest sensing scientists! Goal: a diverse list of scientists using close-range tech in forests for whatever scientific reasons (: Seeking balance in gender, geography, seniority and application.
